The past meets the present in a new exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery.
The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting Retrospective Views, featuring artwork by Sabine Simons and Chris Robson, from Nov. 5 to 26.
An opening reception is set for Saturday, Nov. 5 from noon to 4 p.m.
“Retrospective is a unique combination of traditional and non-traditional techniques that find their origins in the historic aspects of our society,” a press release explains.
Robson’s work draws on impressionism and naïve art, using reduction printing and pencil drawings. A member of the Malaspina Printmakers Society, Robson lives in the Northwest Territory.
“His work has the rhythms of music and a simpler society freed of the idioms of the current day,” the release explains.
Simons, meanwhile, uses a number of modern mediums to approach the subject matter of the past – including image transfer, collage and resin.
“Highlighting the architectural aspects of Burnaby with her intuitive process, she adds beautiful vivid colour and forms to the subject matter,” the release says.
Simons is a resident of Vancouver and partner at Arts Off Main Gallery.
Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Call 604-298-7322 or see www.burnabyartscouncil.org for more information.
